It really works and its great, I&rsquo;m loving my FEZ Panda thanks to this.<br/>

But if I understood correctly, there will be a software solution that enables erasing the chip at home. Don&rsquo;t know when, but I&rsquo;m not in hurry with this. I was prepared to use Windows with this board for some time.</p>Gus Issa - GHI on DEV-10146 - FEZ PandaGus Issa - GHIurn:uuid:b4c382b5-e26d-e22f-a24c-a8454b4cbb862011-01-25T20:05:40-07:00<p>For more details about how to get your FEZ Panda erased to load your own firmware, please take a look at this forum thread<br/>

According to TinyCLR.com, it is currently not possible to load custom firmware to a Panda.</p>jr57k on DEV-10146 - FEZ Pandajr57kurn:uuid:4f531ba8-cb11-4649-a141-cdc0b2b194a02010-10-11T09:50:17-06:00<p>to think, I nearly bought an Uno&hellip;..</p>Gus Issa - GHI on DEV-10146 - FEZ PandaGus Issa - GHIurn:uuid:7807fed7-d3d8-79af-2184-ce97428f53752010-10-11T07:18:33-06:00<p>SD is still supported in software&hellip;.real 4-bit SD interface by the way, not SPI ;)<br/>

Neat, the JTAG port certainly saves the day. I hope you&rsquo;re not paying any per piece licensing fees?<br/>
NETMF simply isn&rsquo;t interesting as I have C/C++ code and libraries that works, no point rewriting stuff that works well just for the sake of rewriting (it&rsquo;s in fact a proven receipt for trouble).</p>Gus Issa - GHI on DEV-10146 - FEZ PandaGus Issa - GHIurn:uuid:5ebf21bc-2ae4-d195-2d06-1782b5ea9e462010-10-08T08:36:35-06:00<p>Why not just erase the board and load anything you want on it? It even includes JTAG.<br/>
There is also a free ebook showing you how to do all this and how to even port NETMF yourself if you like <a href="http://www.tinyclr.com/downloads/Beginners%20Guide%20to%20Porting%20NETMF.pdf" rel="nofollow" >http://www.tinyclr.com/downloads/Beginners%20Guide%20to%20Porting%20NETMF.pdf</a></p>Blue Hair Bob on DEV-10146 - FEZ PandaBlue Hair Boburn:uuid:32d26976-6a23-210f-0c7e-b25a51f8dc882010-10-07T22:50:00-06:00<p>I got this board running today.

And I&rsquo;d like to see a comparison of this to the netduino/netduino+</p>Cyclo on DEV-10146 - FEZ PandaCyclourn:uuid:b30d52ad-6c3e-0893-c4c7-f7e901a88efa2010-10-06T04:53:51-06:00<p>It support Runtime Loadable Procedures(RLP).

Not bad price either.<br/>
Does .NET support inline ASM btw? It would be nice to try out some asm-programming without needing JTAG.</p>
